The False Reality of Being A College Student

I Finally Graduated I'm Going To Be A Millionaire!!!!!!
This is the view so many people wish and dream for. They spend endless hours of studying, struggling, procrastinating, cheating on tests, debt, and a lot of star buck coffees to make it through to the night to obtain a great degree. However reality hits and they start realizing there's a huge difference between the real world and education. In the education system just coming to class or showing up means the world. In the real world it doesn't work that way. You must dress to impress, be on time and your judge on your performance not just your grades. In the education system you can procrastinate, flake and come to class when you feel like and still past. In the real world if you procrastinate, flake and come when you feel like you'll be fired. This is a professional setting and they only want the best. Too many people get the false reality that school is going to automatically give them a boost over someone that never went to school. Although that's somewhat true, school only opens doors. Once you're in the room all the bad habits you learned in school will actually hurt you in the real world. School isn't bad it gives you more opportunities to someone in a different field. Unless you have a specific talent, ready to have a relentless grind and a plan. School isn't bad but you have alternate schools like vocational schools that there are more jobs available. Unless you're the type that doesn't count the cost and are just passionate about something. Be careful speaking things into existing because when you say you want to be a doctor you have no clue how many papers, how many classes, how many tests, how many job application, how much time that'll take. I'm not here to stop you from your dream I'm giving you a dose of reality. Just like your favorite artist, athlete, politician the world revolves around winners. If you want the world to baby you I suggest you stay home. You have to be strong, a fighter, have goals be ready to read a lot. Your education will be the passport that gets you to where you want to be. You can have all degrees in the world but it doesn't mean you'll automatically be successful. The education outside the classroom such as mentors, learning from others, your wisdom, books, the streets, etc. Will be more valuable than just the degree because once that the door opens it's up to you to actually perform well and do it consistently and make sure your results day in an day out aren't valid. You can be doing something consistently however that doesn't mean you're doing it right or valid.

This can be helpful to any age but to any way who grasp this knowledge young has a step over a lot of people. So take the time to imagine you're that singer, athlete, superstar student, etc. You finally get that dream job and  that door opens. It's up to you to succeed in that company, opportunity and get so good other people want you and that job wants to keep you. If they're not begging to give you more after you proved yourself. It's time to do some reflection and better yourself. Take accountability and responsibility in your life. Stop sleeping in all the time. Turn the TV off, drink more water, read more books, travel. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go to work on time. Be the best you can be. Life can be rough and life isn't easy for anyone however don't give up and continue to improve.
